The ColdStream® Site Service OverviewThe ColdStream® Site service is a fully integrated solution for facility temperature, humidity and condition monitoring which combines wireless sensors with a dedicated wireless reader network and a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) web portal.

• TempTale® Site wireless sensors are configured with user-defined alarm thresholds and measurement intervals. They are strategically placed inside any number of storage areas to record environmental conditions.

• TempTale Site wireless sensors record data and transmit the encrypted information wirelessly to a local ColdStream Site Network Controller.

• The ColdStream Site Network Controller relays the information to the ColdStream Site Web Portal. All data

is stored securely and is accessible to authorized users via a web browser; additional software is not required.

• The ColdStream Site Web Portal provides immediate access to real-time and historical sensor data for all monitoring locations—anytime, anywhere. Reports are available on demand or can be scheduled using a report wizard which will generate and distribute reports automatically via e-mail or fax.

• When an excursion occurs, designated personnel can be alerted through audible/visual alarms, as well as through e-mail, text or automated phone call. Once a problem has been identified and corrective action has taken place, the incident can be recorded in the system’s historical audit log.

Data transmits via Internet to the hosted, secure ColdStream Site Web Portal.

The TempTale Site wireless sensors communicate with the ColdStream Site Network Controller.

The ColdStream Site Network monitors your facility for visibility and compliance.

Alerts can be delivered by alarm beacon, email or text message.

Information Where and When You Need ItThe ColdStream® Site Web Portal makes data access and reporting easy. The portal’s dashboard and site map provide immediate access to key information regarding the current state of all monitored locations. The dashboard highlights current sensor alerts, while the site map provides a quick overview of all sensors, their current readings, and their current status (e.g., normal, warning, or critical).

Information is delivered in the format your organization prefers; data can be viewed on demand or downloaded in multiple formats (e.g., .pdf, .xls, .csv formats) for a given day, week, or specific time period. Reports can also be scheduled for automated daily/weekly electronic delivery through the Report Wizard.

Alarming and alerting capabilities are key features of the ColdStream Site Facility Monitoring Service. The service can alarm on sensor-level readings (i.e., temperature excursions) or system-level issues such as damage to or removal of sensors, power failure, device malfunction, and network connectivity loss. Each alert can be configured to notify designated personnel through a variety of methods: local audible/visual alarm beacons, email message, text message, or automated phone call.

• Audible/visual alarm beacons can be installed at various high-visibility points within the facility to alert on-site staff that an excursion or system-level issue needs attention. Beacons can be configured to alarm for an individual sensor or group of sensors.

• E-mails and text message alerts can be configured to reach designated personnel with information that includes the exact location and details of the alarm. Escalating, automated phone calls can also be made to designated personnel until someone logs in, investigates the alarm, and takes action.

Corrective actions can be used to document your process controls. Once an excursion has occurred, corrective actions can be entered by authorized users. A user can select from a pre-defined list or can manually enter a corrective action as needed. Every corrective action entered is date and time stamped and includes electronic signatures.

Electronic record keeping helps to assure that you have a robust audit trail when needed. The ColdStream Site service maintains a rigorous audit log, tracking user and system activities including configuration changes, user logins, alerts, and corrective actions

Your data is secure using a variety of methods. Access is protected by username and password authentication. Depending on their responsibilities, personnel can be granted different levels of access including read-only, read/write or full access to add corrective actions and sign-off data. In addition, all data transmissions are encrypted for security assurance.

Thermal Mapping GuidanceThermal mapping is a critical step in understanding the risk of temperature abuse in a storage environment. Mappings are performed by placing monitors in a three-dimensional pattern throughout a product storage area. Capturing temperature, and if necessary, humidity, over a period of time will document where extreme locations are and how extreme the temperature and/or humidity may become. This information helps determine if the storage area is capable of maintaining product storage requirements as well as the appropriate locations of permanent monitoring sensors. These locations should represent worst case scenario—the locations that will likely alarm first during a temperature and/or humidity event to allow corrective action to be taken before product damage or loss occurs.
